Kristin Ess Hair Instant Exfoliating Scalp Scrub for Build Up and Dandruff + Soothing, Hydrating + Rebalancing Dry Scalp Treatment, Non Drying, Cleanse + Detox, Vegan, Color Safe, 6.7 fl oz

HEADS UP TO BUYERS: This is an amazing product in its true form. In other words, when I purchase it from a beauty supplier/salon like Ulta I get the guaranteed product. I’ve noticed that the bottles I’ve purchased on Amazon have a weaker scent, don’t lather as well, and dont make my scalp feel as clean. If you’re looking at the cheaper price, there’s a good reason it’s being offered for less. This information didn’t “register” until I just ordered it again recently and realized it wasn’t being fulfilled by Kristen Ess. I plant to return this bottle to Amazon and make the drive to Ulta. It’s DEFINITELY worth it! If you don’t have a salon near you who carries this product, then please search Amazon and try to find a supplier who is known in the reviews to be a reputable salon. And if it’s being sold for less than $13 to $14, please be careful, as you’ll probably get a watered down version, as I suspect I have.Original review:This shampoo works great on my gray, finicky hair. I wanted something free from harmful chemicals, but all others left my hair feeling dry and over-processed, and my scalp feeling dirty. This shampoo leaves my scalp feeling clean and never dry or itchy, and doesn’t over-process my hair. PLUS IT SMELLS AMAZING!!!!!The applicator takes a little getting used to, but if you’ve ever used an in-home hair color kit, this is very similar, except you start with wet hair. This shampoo has great lather, but you have to add a little bit of water with your hands to increase the lather once you’ve applied it to your scalp.If I could give this shampoo 20 stars, I would-It works THAT well for my hair.Also, I follow up with Kristen Ess Hair Mask for light conditioning and then add Kristen Ess Air Dry Crème once I towel off my hair.This has been the best combination I’ve found for my 60 yr old fine-textured gray hair to help tame frizz and keep it healthy.

Hands down my favorite clarifying shampoo. I’m on a hair health journey this past year, as I spent years bleaching and I’m trying to grow out the fried dead ends. I do color my greys and it doesn’t alter my hair color. It leaves my hair feeling so soft & clean without drying it out, which can be a struggle with my long thick hair. I recently went to a head spa and they ask you to come with dirty hair. She laughed at my before picture (below) because my 4 day old hair was barely oily, and I she didn’t even find any build up. So it does a great job and smells great as well! Highly recommend

Maybe i just have too much hair, but this isn’t a deep exfoliation. I have sebhorreic dermatitis and was told exfoliation can help ease the severity of it. This smells nice and washes out easily. It doesn’t flare up my scalp or anything. It just doesn’t really get in there and SCRUB like i wish it did. If you don’t need that deep scrub this is perfect for you! It’s still a great product, just not great if you have lots of hair.

I LOVE this shampoo. It makes my scalp feel so clean yet my hair feels so soft and moisturized. They have mastered making your hair feel clean but not stripped. I have curly 3c/4a hair. This product is great for any hair type I believe. I took a chance on this not knowing if it would be great for black hair, and I was not disappointed. I stay away from sweet smelling hair products which is the majority of curly hair care lines so the fresh and clean scent of this drew me in and I’m hooked. My hair seems stronger since I’ve been using this for a few months. One bottle lasts a long time and it’s so easy to apply directly to my scalp with the convenient tip.

It's a great product. Rinses clean with no build-up. I am using it as part of a hair detox/clarifying program.

Stripped my color and left my hair feeling dry and brittle. At least it smelled okay.

I am absolutely obsessed with this product. Cleans your scalp while keeping your hair soft.I do not have oily hair

I didn’t think I was going to like this product. I’ve been using Paul Mitchell forever. I switched to this because I’ve been in the pool and ocean a lot. It’s been a game changer. Also cheaper than Paul Mitchell.
